I must admit I wasn't really looking for Woodies, I'd sort of filed it in the back of my mind as an impossible challenge.But this morning at about 9:30, while on the Timbavati road I was amazed to be greeted by one right next to the road. It flew off when we stopped, but I did manage to relocate it further away and take a photo as proof, even though it is almost too far to see colours, but the silhoette is there. First woody of the season? The signal here is terrible, but will post pic when I'm at home, for what its worth! Listening to the hippos in the Olifants now, drinking an Amarula. Cheers!

Since I've (at long last) finished my trip report for my October KNP trip to Olifants - its time to tally up the sightings. Even though I saw a Woody, I did not manage to get a photo to prove it (and it was so early too). I did however see some Wild dogs (very special) and Scopsie at Satara. So, my donation to the project will be R200, which I'll pay when I get the banking details.Great challenge and I was proud to take part and do a little bit towards making the dream a reality.
